This collection of articles explores changes in images of the
French monarchy propagated in ceremonies that townspeople and
officials created for their kings. Bryant looks at royal entrees as
massive processional and street theaters in which members of the
kingdom both discoursed with and exalted the king in a multiplicity
of ritual forms, symbolism and public art. These ceremonies
personalized the idea of the state as embodied in the king, and
they publicized rights and authority, new historical or
mythological themes, innovative styles of monumental architecture
and art, and theories of ideal and shared government.

Why do some families survive stressful situations while others fall
apart? Can a family's beliefs and values be used as a predictor of
vulnerability to stress? And most importantly, can family stress be
prevented? The Third Edition of Family Stress Management continues
its original commitment to recognize both the external and internal
contexts in which distressed families find themselves. With its
hallmark Contextual Model of Family Stress (CMFS), the Third
Edition provides practitioners and researchers with a useful
framework to understand and help distressed individuals, couples,
and families. The example of a universal stressor-a death in the
family-highlights cultural differences in ways of coping.
Throughout, there is new emphasis on diversity and the nuances of
family stress management-such as ambiguous loss-plus new
discussions on family resilience and community as resources for
support.

This Festschrift for Irving M. Zeitlin honors a scholar whose work
has influenced and continues to influence sociology, particularly
classical sociological theory, sociology of religion, and
historical sociology. Irving M. Zeitlin's scholarship and mentoring
has also influenced and inspired a new generation of sociologists.
The essays presented here address a wide range of topics that
include classical sociological theory, globalization, bureaucracy,
genocide, resistance, ethnic diversity, the intifada,
anti-Semitism, democracy, geopolitical theory, war literature,
science, and national culture. The contributions span a wide range
of geographical areas that include Korea, China, India, Poland,
Spain, Germany, the ex-Soviet Union, Canada, and the United States.
These essays by eminent scholars located in many parts of the world
affirm the incredibly broad range of expertise and learning that
Irving M. Zeitlin's work has engaged with. The contributions to
this volume also serve to highlight the contemporary relevance of
the classical sociological tradition in making sense of the global
human condition.
Education has never been non-partisan. Buffeted by economic,
political, and social influences, education, educators, and various
stakeholders have taken sides to provide institutionalized
instruction to child and adult learners. Instruction that is right
or wrong, ethical or unethical, just or unjust, can be just that,
depending on where one's education and schooling takes place in the
world. Education alone can be construed as a first step towards
indoctrination into a community and nation's way of life. Despite
divergent views, the ultimate goal of serving students has remained
paramount. At the same time, the work of educators has placed them
at the forefront of numerous debates and controversies that have
beset the profession. The process of informing oneself
professionally and personally in the midst of such educational
deliberations may not be an easy task, but may be a necessary one
given the impact of one's decisions and stances on learners. This
book focuses on contemporary and critical topics of debate that
educators face in American educational settings. The book's
distinctiveness rests on its Socratic approach to the content. Each
chapter begins with the examination of an issue of interest and
concludes with a series of related questions. Readers are asked to
ponder the materials individually and with others to enable all to
draw their own conclusions. This book will interest and benefit
educational professionals along all points in their professional
careers from new professionals and students-in-training to those
with extensive experiences across educational disciplines.
